#mastodonstarterkit — Public Fediverse posts

A refreshed #Introduction

Love learning and posting about the #Fediverse - the people involved, the apps created.

I tinker with my #MastodonStarterKit, #HomeLab projects, and brush up on coding skills when I can.

I'm back to the #MastodonStarterKit. I'm more than done ADDING features - and actually removing them as I prepare for release.

Made some decisions:

Removed all but Home, Local and Global timelines
Considering removing Lists and Hashtags as well
Stripped out all excess code that isn't being used
Removed themes :sadness:

I have to remember, the idea here is to create a jump-starter for various languages, not to re-create every Mastodon feature in the book!

@kainoa 😆 Well I have to travel for work over the next two weeks so at least not for a bit! And I HAVE to finish this other project i was working on - #MastodonStarterKit, then maybe #CalckeyStarterKit soon after? I'm tired already. #CalckeyPlugins #AiScript

I’ve been neglecting #MastodonStarterKit, and likely to stay that way until July. I’ve found myself using it to do light browsing. You can’t reply, like or boost. Just view posts. Obviously not a full fledged app but I enjoy the simplicity.

This bit I added is my favorite. If someone posts with visibility set to followers only, it is shown with a highlight around it, calling out that the person made a special point of showing me that information. Wish the real apps would consider similar.

#MastodonStarterKit has reached a feature freeze. Now I'm working on cleaning up the existing code.

**The final round of features:
**
👁️ Filtering

🎨 Switching between five themes is now possible (Scooby Snack, Pink Panther, Mastodon, Dracula and Boring Blue)

📱Added PWA capabilities, because I've never done it.

**Items I shelved:**

🧘‍♀️Wellness Dashboard (You filtered 25 and hid 100 items from your timeline)

:mastodon: Display of author's fediverse platform and link to platform homepage.

I was up too late having fun adding a few themes to the #MastodonStarterKit because sometimes you just need to do silly things. Here's a scooby-doo theme and I have to say I kinda like it! Maybe I should make it a Mona app theme. 😆

Tonight, I realized that when a post is submitted with visibility set to "Followers Only", none of the #MastodonApps display that intent other than a tiny lock icon (sometimes). It's not differentiated well.

Yes, it's not a direct message, but it IS something the author wanted to specifically share with their followers rather than the general public.

In my #MastodonStarterKit, I tried a border glow for them. Makers of official apps can do better - this is just a concept! :blobcatcoffee:

#TIL about #VueJS computed functions and refactored a bit of code.

Mastodon filters are complete - my little #MastodonStarterKit won't have a notification or account profile feed, so those aren't going to be added. Needs a bit of testing.

Also, I used #ChatGPT for the first time as a development partner...and...I found it extremely helpful while learning something new.

I get that it's not 100% accurate but it's a constant, calm partner that doesn't get annoyed with all my questions. 😄

Jumped back into #MastodonStarterKit code after a week hiatus. It's ugly right now. But I'm learning a lot.

#TIL a good lesson in Vue child/parent component property inheritance.

I think most developers would be horrified at the way I'm going about this. But it's a side project, just to pick up an understanding of what's happening behind the scenes. This isn't a polished production ready app, and never will be.

Work is distracting me from #MastodonStarterKit.

I'm stuck on filters - they're not as simple as I thought.

Filtered posts are included in API responses, so developers have to write logic to determine if they display.

Seeing that some apps always hide/warn on filters if one is returned, but that's not what the logic calls for.

Filters can have expiration dates, options can be set for which timeline / area they show…so I definitely see why you’d just hide by default! Much easier that way.

#MastodonStarterKit - Cards are done! Worked on images as well, tho I think I went a bit overboard with some CSS animations in the early morning hours so probably going to rethink that tomorrow.

Writing up my thoughts on the complexities of Mastodon cards tomorrow, too. It’s still somewhat of a mystery, but I’ll share what I know.

Work on the #MastodonStarterKit continues.

Each app handles link preview cards differently, and some just gave up on trying to interpret the best display, onlying show condensed preview cards to simplify things.

It’s a bit of the mystery how and when Mastodon decides to return embed code for a specific link type after it’s been submitted.

I’ve spent so much time with it, I decided to create a new blog post to cover my research and logic choices. Coming soon, here’s a sneak peak.

#MastodonStarterKit was stuck in my head all day. Added the following - and decided this is all the scope creep I'm going to allow - no more added features - just fine tuning the existing items.

🪪 Card refinement when no image is attached.
⚠️Content Warnings added
🙈Sensitive Media added

Testing sensitive media…y'all… 😳
